Cork’s €80m private hospital awaits green light from planners
The 100-bed private hospital was granted planning permission by Cork City Council last week, subject to 19 conditions, including a €1 million development contribution. The hospital will employ 300 people in permanent positions, according to a spokesperson for developer O’Callaghan Properties (OCP).
The spokesperson said a healthcare operator is on board to run the 140,000sq ft hospital, which will include six operating theatres and 20 consulting suites. He also said hospital consultants were “signing up” to operate out of the new hospital.
